The in basket: Beth Greene says she often must wait at busy times of day as she drives eastbound on Sedgwick Road in South Kitsap to get through the signal at the entrance to the Lowe’s hardware store. She has waited through three green light cycles at times, she said.

Congestion in both directions of Sedgwick on either side of Highway 16 is notorious, but Beth sees one change that would make it a little better for those on Sedgwick.

A series of cars can pull out of the Lowe’s access by making a right turn on red, filling up breaks in traffic that would allow those on Sedgwick to make a little more progress.

She’d like to see signs posted prohibiting right turns on red from Lowe’s, at least at the busiest times of day. That would require cars coming out of Lowe’s to wait for their own green light -- or ignore the signs, of course.

I thought it was unlikely the city would take that step. Among other things, the prohibition wouldn’t help anything while only westbound left-turn traffic into Lowe’s was flowing.

The out basket: Port Orchard Public Works Director Mark Dorsey says: “We've discussed it internally ... and we do concur. But, it's problematic to make the change, as the Lowe's development was approved without the restriction.

“There's also the enforcement aspect of it. At this point, it's an option we may pursue, but we need to discuss with Lowe's first.”
